• Photosmart HP 6520 - print in color, not black and white

  I have had this printer for some time and configure options so that it used only the black cartridge unless I put it specifically to do otherwise when I wanted to color.  It worked well and I could switch between black and white and color very easily.  A few weeks ago, the printer started to ignore the options I would set and printed in color.  I double checked the parameters, and the printer is always set up for black and white, but now it completely ignores and still print in color.

  I tried the settings at the time of printing, and that indicates that the image in black and white, it still prints in color.

  I haven't added any software or made any changes to my pc.

  Can someone help me with this, please?

  Hi Lulu and thank you for the reply!

  I suggest to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.  Once you have run the tool successfully, try again the configuration in black and white.

  Please let me know the results.

• HP8600 how to change the default to print/fax in color black and white - on a Mac OS 10.9

  I use MS 7 and have the same problem.  Older printers enabled you to change the color and the paper size on the fly.   I love b & w most of the time, but sometimes want to color.  Now, I can not find how to switch between.  Cannot HP fix the software to include simple things like the paper of the color/size changes (and also the envelope D * on the 8600 is absolutely ridiculous) as a loyal user of HP in the past, I won't buy another HP unless it changes!  These developers do not use the printer on a daily basis or consult a person who?

• black and white printing with a mac

  I've recently upgraded from a Dell Windows PC to an iMac with OS 10.9. I use my old HP 6500e 710 a Officejet All in One.

  In general, I print most of my documents in black and white that was available on version Windows 7 driver.

  On the iMac OS 10.9 driver version, I can print only in black and white in "draft" mode

  Based on another ad I saw on this forum, the drop-down list for a different HP printer (I think than 8300) had the function Select B & W print in any quality. In addition, she had 'gray levels' selectable.

  I seems that my version of the pilot V2.4.0 - 2 does not have the full options compliment. HP needs to update this driver OS 10.9.

  Can anyone HELP!

• JPG of Windows Photo Gallery will not be printed in black and white / grayscale, than by the color.

  All of a sudden, for some reason unknown to me, my mon imprimante printer does not print images JPG from Windows Photo Gallery black and white or grayscale. No matter if I turn it on to or black and white color option / shades of gray option, it only prints in color. If I remove the color of my printer ink cartridge and leave the black alone to, and order the printer to print in black, the printer behaves as if it was printing but the page comes out blank.

  If I try to print, for example Word documents in black and white / shades of gray, they come out, as requested.

  Help, please! Thank you.

• HP ENVY 5644 e-all-in-one Prin: I want to print in black and white

  Hello

  I wanted to print in black and white but still my printer print in color when there is a picture in the paper, it's really annoying because when I go to the properties of the printer I press black and white or black press ink only then when I press on save, I'll be back in the printer properties to find her back to color No matter how many times I put it in black and white it goes back to color. I tried pressing black and white and not return to the printer properties, but it still prints in color. Also, I changed my default settings of the printer in black and white through the control panel and tap Save. When I go into Control Panel, its saved printer properties such as black and white by default, so that's good. But for some reason when theres color of text or an image on the page I want to print, I can not change to print in black and white, keeps coming back to color.

  Please help me!

  Hello @Matthew002, hope you are well!

  Thank you for joining the HP support forums, I would like to help

  I understand that you are having problems when printing in black and white and also the printer goes "offline".

  Going through your post, this could be a problem with the printer drivers. In this case, we might need to uninstall the drivers and re - install the same.

  • If present, disconnect the USB cable between the printer and the computer.
  • Go to control panel of configuration-programs and feature - select the HP Envy printer entries and uninstall them.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Now, click http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/en5640/Basic_Webpack_x64-40.2.1073-EN5640_Basicx64_Webpack.exe and install the printer drivers.
  • If you are prompted, connect the USB cable.

  Now try to change the printing preferences:

  • Go to control panel - devices and printers - give Envy 5640 right-click and select Printing Preferences.
  • In the pop-up window, click on the 'Advanced' button - check for printing in grayscale option. Make sure it is turned on

  PS: Your printer support mode single cartridge. So if you want to completely stop color printing you can get out the color cartridge and use only black.

  Let me know if this helps. Good luck!

  See you soon

• only of black and white prints

  My sisters new want 5660 printer prints only in black and white.

  I have been all over the net and my iMac to try to understand what is the problem, but nothing helped.

  I looked for the paper type / quality etc settings that were solutions to other problems, but these options are not on my computer.  I passed through all the menus on the printer and many of my programs in an attempt to change a few settings that is saying is not in color, this printer.  I opened the printer settings and the settings of my computer and nothing gave me the possibility to print in color or black and white.

  what the devil?

  the closest solution to you, that I could find was that someone uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and it helped for a while, until she had to repeat the same thing.  that cannot be a workable solution, and my first guess would be that there is a problem with the printer.

  However, if there is something that I am on, can you please let me know?  I'm annoyed at the moment and it's not yet my printer...

  Hello @jammypie,

  The reason why the HP ENVY 5660 e-all-in-one printer is not printing correctly from your Mac OS X 10.6.8 computer is because the printer is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

  Because this printer is new, it is only compatible with Mac OS X 10.7, Mac OS X 10.8, Mac OS X 10.9 and 10.10 to Mac OS X. Therefore, there is no driver support on your Mac OS X 10.6.8 computer. I'm surprised that you were able to get the printer to print to your Mac in the first place. But this does not explain why your print quality is so bad. You can try the alternate drivers that appear under the screen (+) add under Print & Fax but I can't guide you to a driver who would be appropriate for your printer, because it is not supported on this operating system. It is an inkjet printer if you can try a few other ink jet pilots who appear in the list.

  The solution to this problem would be to install the desire on a supported operating system and all printing problems will be resolved.

  I wish you good luck going forward with this!

• Why my PRO - 100 black-and-white prints have a color tint?

  I print out on the printer PIXMA Pro-100 and sometimes, for no apparent reason (?), my black and white prints have a color tint (generally a "reddish brown"), then when printing to new... same settings print, same... the same impression will be fine, neutral with no tint at all.

  No idea why?

  Also (perhaps related?) I do not understand why Photo-Cyan and Magenta cartridges are exhausted when I'm NOT print color, but only black and white.  Am I missing something?  When you set up for printing, I always make sure that the 'Black and white photography' feature is selected in settings dialog "Quick Installation".  This ensures not only the black and gray inks are used as long as I'm not "toning"?  In other words... ONLY black and gray inks are used, if not the impression that is supposed to be a black and white printing neutral? Yet once... I missed something?

  FOR INFO:

  I print on Canon Pro radiance papers and more glossy.

  Under 'Options - color management', I selected:

  (color management) Photoshop Elements handles colors

  (image area) Adobe RGB (1998)

  (the printer profile) Canon PRO-100 1/2 Luster Photo Paper Pro

  (rendering mode) Perceptual

  The most important thing is the paper you choose to print on.  Find this first release. Any Epson printer which uses UltraChrome K3 inks will do a better job with B & W as a Pro-(anything).  But Epson suffers from obstruction more far do, Canon Pro-100 problems.

  If you print a lot is not too big of a problem, but if you print once a week or once a month to forget it.  Go with Canon that clogged very rarely, if ever.

  Try to find the right paper.  It will make everything better.  Call the Red River or Canson and ask them to recommend a book.  Red River will work with you and they know the Pro - 100 inside and outside.

• Photoshop CS5 print color in black and white graphics

  I have Photoshop CS5 12.1 x 64 on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.10.5 with a Canon Pixma MP560 printer. Until a few minutes ago, has been printing very good Photoshop, but now it prints all graphics in black and white color. Before posting this request, I tried the printer on several other applications, including Word, Firefox and Adobe Acrobat, and all are printed correctly. Apparently, I clicked inadvertently something in Photoshop which has not extinguished color printing. I've attached a screenshot of a dialog box print in Photoshop with a simple image two-tone. I hope someone here can help you.

  

  Thanks for the screenshots, they are a great help

  In the first screen, uncheck grayscale printing. It is another name for black & white.

  The workflow default scanning set up to scan documents in black and white. Be sure to change the settings for scanning to scan color documents:

  If your version of OS X 10.7, be sure to install the critical update below. Skip this step for any other version of OS X.
  http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL41827/MP-101648-1/HP_Scan_for_Mac_OS_X_10.7_Update.dmg

  Now change the settings of the device as follows:
  1 open the HP utility and select your device.
  2. based on Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
  3. click on the tab scan tasks.
  4. Select the affected shortcut and click on change... (or double-click on the shortcut).
  5. in the section of scanning from an HP device, click the blue triangle to expand the menu.
  6. in the expanded menu now, open the drop-down next to the Mode
  7. now select the color option, and then click OK to save the changes. The next scanned using this workflow is displayed in color.

  Kind regards
